[Intro]
G C Em7 D

G C Em7 D

[Verse]
G C Em7 D
The first thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
G C Em7 D
Yes, it's a lie; we've been believing since time immemorial
G C Em7 D
There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
G C Em7 D G C Em7 D
There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life
[Verse]
G C Em7 D
One became two and then everyone was out for themselves
G C Em7 D G
Everyone was pitted against each other; conflict ruled the realm
C Em7 D G
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
C Em7 D G C Em7 D
They seem to easily forget we are made, of the same cells
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D
To my boy; all that energy so wild
G C Em7 D
All you hues; and your blues in equal measure
G C Em7 D
Your comings and your goings-away
G C Em7 D G C Em7 D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Verse]
G C Em7 D G
The second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
C Em7 D G
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
C Em7 D G
You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
C Em7 D G C Em7 D
But it won't matter if you keep your core connected to the one-ness
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire
G C Em7 D
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water
G C Em7 D
This nest is never going away
G C Em7 D G C Em7 D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Bridge]
Bm G
And this cord is unbreakable.
Em Dsus2
This pilot light is there in your pocket
Bm G
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
Em Dsus2 C Em7 D
Even if we all forget, all at the same time,
G C Em7 D
If we forget at the same time
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D
To my boy, my precious gentle warrior
G C Em7 D
To your sweetness; And your strength and exploring
G C Em7 D
May this bond stay with you through all your days
G C Em7 D G C Em7 D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire
G C Em7 D
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water
G C Em7 D
This nest is never going away
G C Em7 D G C Em7 D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Outro]
G C Em7 D
(To my boy) First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary
G C Em7 D
(To my girl) Next that you might now is that we will always be a family
G C Em7 D
(To my boy) My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
